Justice for Liz

Why this is important

In Busia, Kenya, a 16 year old girl, Liz is beaten and gang-raped on her way home from her grandfather's funeral and dumped in a pit latrine. She is now wheelchair bound with a broken spine and has the worst case of fistula. She recognized her rapists and identified them to the police. Police arrested perpetrators only to have them slash grass upon which they were released. Join us in calling for Justice for Liz, an immediate arrest of the perpetrators and disciplinary action on the police.
We must not allow impunity to reign and women and girl's bodies to continue to be battlefields. No more violence. No more impunity. Justice Now!
